Robert Mueller - Will He Be a "Comey"

After all, the Trump Administration has fired Preet Bharara and Jim Comey. So, it's within the realm of possibility for Robert Mueller also to get axed.

Yes, we could bear witness to the Trump folks "Doing a Comey" on the well-respected Mueller. The lawyers-journalists at LawNewz are predicting that could happen within 100 days. Here is that analysis.

When you are in the seat of power, just about any justification can be cooked up to explain the decision. Those could range from the cost of Mueller's investigative mission (The Russian connection) to how such an initiative is distracting from the important work to be done.

Why the possible firing is being talked about is that the current U.S. president puts extreme value on family. It's an ethos straight from "The Godfather." Mueller's tentacles could wrap around the throats of son Donald Jr. and son in law Jared Kushner.
